Hard drives and flash storage have gotten more reliable over the years, but only on a human timescale. What if we need data storage that lasts longer? Decades? Millennia? The key to that might be 5D ...

Using high-speed lasers, researchers have created "5D" data storage technology that could allow 500 TB of data to be written to a CD-sized glass disc, according to the Optica society. The technique ...

Forward-looking: Modern data storage has a short lifespan. Hard drives fail, SSDs wear out, and even magnetic tape needs periodic rewriting to avoid degradation. Now, an ambitious technology is aiming ...

With any type of creative or engineering project, you have to be aware of your target, whether that's the audience for a joke, the landscape for a building, or the use-case for a piece of hardware or ...

WASHINGTON — Researchers have developed a fast and energy-efficient laser-writing method for producing high-density nanostructures in silica glass. These tiny structures can be used for long-term five ...
